Lambert Fine Arts Presents:

Shalom Neuman and Terrenceo - Racks On Racks and Urban ARTifacts

January 20th - February 12, 2011

Opening Reception: Friday January 20th, 7-10pm

57 Stanton Street (at Eldridge) NY, NY 10002

F to 2nd Ave | JMZ to Essex St | D to Grand

Gallery Hours: Tues - Sun 1-8pm

Lambert Fine Arts is pleased to present "Racks On Racks and Urban ARTifacts" highlighting the works of Shalom Neuman and Terrenceo, two of the most prolific and original contemporary artists who expose the social issues that an egocentric society saturated with apathy has long deemed as acceptable. Both artists take a multi-sensory and multi-media approach to boldly challenge our assumptions about contemporary culture and life in the digital age.

Shalom Neuman has been called a "phenomenon" by both Robert Morgan and Donald Kuspit, while his Fusion Art is described by critic Lester Strong as "Combining color, motion, and sound into a multidisciplinary, multisensory extravaganza [that] reflects and comments on a contemporary world he sees as seriously out of joint and in need of repair." At Lambert Fine Arts will be the Amerika series, multi-media and interactive portraits made from found objects, sound recordings, motion sensors and toys "constructed from the detritus of our society, they reach beyond the individual to comment on a culture where rampant consumerism threatens to engulf us all."

Terrenceo refers to his bodies of work as Contemporary New Realism and Digital Primitive. Using a complex layering of collage, assorted materials, and distinctive brushwork, Terrenceo updates Nouveau Réalisme and takes a satirical approach in his juxtaposition of iconic images from popular culture to develop compelling and provocative social commentary. His use of found objects and digital manifestations from contemporary life express his response to being submerged in a highly materialistic and technologically advanced world, which we are forced to encounter with no regard for the implications, misinterpretations, and social constructions that form the foundation for entire belief systems.

"The work of both artists reflect lives of perseverance and triumph despite conflict, forced displacement, injustice, and racism, and I think Shalom and Terrenceo have extremely significant and timeless things to say about popular culture and modern life," states Executive Director Marc Lambert.

About the Gallery:

Lambert Fine Arts occupies the unique and quirky landmark Fusion Arts Museum, beautifully reflecting the funky, innovative, and provocative nature of contemporary Urban Arts. With multi-cultural artists using a multi-media approach, the artists and performers at Lambert Fine Arts demonstrate a contemporary sophistication in their use of new media, modern technology, and complex symbolic imagery to engage viewers in a progressive and compelling social critique.

Leung Chi Wo ROKEBY Thurs 19 Jan

LEUNG CHI WO
We Must Construct As Well As Destroy
20.01.2012 - 03.03.2012

Opening Thursday 19 January 2012, 18.30 - 20.30

Leung Chi Wo is one of Hong Kong’s leading contemporary artists of a generation influenced by the territory’s post-1997 identity and politics. Through extensive research and observation Leung investigates social and political concerns within a poetic and reflective practice that encompasses photography, text, video, sculpture, installation and performance. Combining historical exploration with conceptual inquiry Leung uses the contemporary urban landscape as a site from which to consider social, political, historical and global concerns and the complex relativity between conception, perception and understanding.

Leung Chi Wo’s forthcoming exhibition at the gallery presents the artist’s extensive project that considers a Post-Colonial Hong Kong and its wider global readings. The work will be seen in London before being exhibited in Hong Kong, underlining the artist’s investigations into notions of context and place.

The new series of work consists of photographs, lightboxes, text work and sculptures which revolve around the British built Legislative Council Building (LEGCO), which originally housed the Supreme Court.

Born in Hong Kong Leung Chi Wo graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in 1996 he co-founded Para/Site Art Space, Hong Kong. Leung Chi Wo has exhibited internationally and represented Hong Kong at the Venice Biennale in 2001.

Leungs work will be included in the forthcoming Marrakech Biennale, solo exhibitions including Hanart TZ Gallery, The Asia Art Archive and Para/Site, all Hong Kong, and the Queens Museum of Art, New York. His work has been included in the Guangzhou Triennial (2008), the Busan Biennale (2006), Gwangju Biennale (2002) and the Shanghai Biennale (2000). Leung has exhibited at Tate Modern, London, PS1, New York, Museu da Imagem e do Som, Sao Paulo and the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius amongst others.

FUGUE by Rory Mulligan at Motus Fort,Tokyo Reception Saturday- Tonight!

* *
*Fugue***
A flight; responded to with other similar compositions according to certain
rules of life, here Rory Mulligan’s photographs echo our own limitation on
variation, yet conduct without being monotonous. Gestures repeat, but as
Milan Kundera points out, even human difference is limited, thus eliciting
elements of familiarity. This selection of photographs which range through
different bodies of his work revolve around the song of Rory’s life played
in different cities with different men, different homes, lived, desired and
dreamt similarly. The images echo and syncopate while the beat is constant.
Richness emanates and details, visual phrasing, situation, aspirations,
desires intertwine; order holds; difference piques. The images are
described articulately, and black and white is not invoked as nostalgia,
but as coherence, a device reminding us that these works are indeed within
the tradition of photography.
レセプション
土曜日6時より
フーガ
逃避
人生のおける一定のルールに従い、他の類似した作品に応え、Rory Mulligan
の写真は我々の多様性における今日に共鳴するが、その指揮するところに単調さはない。身振りは繰り返され、しかしミラン・クンデラが指摘したとおり、人の違いには限界があるとしても、親しみさの要素を顕在化させている。この写真のセレクションは、彼の作品の異なるシリーズに渡り、同様に住み望まれ夢見られた、異なる街において、異なる者と、異なる家で奏でられた、
Rory
の人生の歌をめぐる。このイメージは反響し、シンコペートする一方、拍子は一定である。豊かさが生まれ、視覚的詳細や表現、状況、熱望、願望の絡み合いを列挙する。このイメージは明瞭に言及され、黒と白はノスタルジーを呼び起こさず、しかし一環として、これらの表現は、実際には写真の伝統の中にあるものだということを思い起こさせる。

HOW TO PHILOSOPHIZE WITH A HAMMER

Curated by Raul Zamudio

August 11 - September 10, 2011

Opening Reception: Tonight, August 11, 6 - 9 PM

Artists: Isaac Aden, Oreet Ashery, Marcela Astorga, Luis Alonzo-Burkigia, Marc Bijl, Karlos Carcamo, Daniel Davidson, Wim Delvoye, Adolfo Doring, Shahram Entekhabi, Kendell Geers, Fernando Martin Godoy, Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, Istvan Kantor, Ferran Martin, Dominic McGill, Dennis Oppenheim, Damian Ontiveros, Pasha Radetzki, Joaquin Segura, Celia Eslamieh Shomal, Susan Sontag, Javier Tellez, Mookie Tenembaum, Wojtek Ulrich, Abdul Vas, Ruben Verdu, Ai Weiwei, Zhou Wendou.

How to Philosophize with a Hammer is an exhibition of international artists that work in video, painting, sculpture, works-on-paper, photography, installation, and performance. It's title is culled from Friedrich Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer (1889). How to Philosophize with a Hammer followed the Gay Science (1882) in which Nietzsche pronounced that "god is dead."

After this deicide came other "deaths" in the late twentieth century including "the death of the author," "the end of history," and "the death of painting." As such, the works in the exhibition underscore the usurpation of authority but within a contemporary context. The artists address the exhibition's thematic framework in myriad ways where their philosophizing is articulated through diverse artistic genres. Some philosophers have viewed aesthetics and artistic practice as a form of philosophy, and the iconoclasm of these artists' works hammers against political, financial, social, and religious institutions. This iconoclasm signals the need to reinvent new modes of thinking and being while reflecting on the existential crisis that humanity finds itself marked by wars, ecological disaster, economic collapse, terrorism, and revolution. In short, it is the perfect end of summer exhibition.

White Box and Raul Zamudio present a special opening performance by Gregory de la Haba

THE VIRTUE OF VICE

Tonight - August 11, 7 - 10 PM

Gambling as a thematic in contemporary art has not been dealt with sufficient seriousness. Although there are, for example, iconic works including Marcel Duchamp's Monte Carlo Bond (1924), Gregory de la Haba's The Virtue of Vice pushes gambling as a form of social sculpture and relational aesthetic.

White Box will host the proverbial Craps game and its basement exhibition space will be turned into a high stakes casino for one night only and will include de la Haba's over-the-top, one-of-a-kind, 14' authentic Las Vegas gaming table replete with professional dealers flown in from Vegas.

Original art by the artist (including a custom de la Haba surfboard) will be offered to the biggest winner and the Phatest looser (the one who throws the most money down). All proceeds from the evening go directly to WHITEBOX's exhibition programming. Dice start rolling at 7pm. Don't know how to play? No worries, we're professionals. We'll show you how!

As Zamudio once stated about de la Haba's project: "It is a work with many metaphorical strands, one of them being that all artists are gamblers with New York City being the meanest casino in which they play to win or loose it all; but luck and skill may not be enough aces up their sleeves, for they engage a murky underworld filled with dealer hucksters, curatorial conmen, and art critic carpetbaggers of all stripes."

Paper is the most immediate of materials, boasting a free, unstifled quality in contrast to its grown up cousins, canvas and panel.

The multifarious paper work on show in Pulp Fictions, whether painting, collage or drawing, is of a delicate or obsessive nature. It dips into inky melancholia, takes off on wistful flights of fancy and even occasionally spins out into the pure pleasure of abstract felt-tip fantasies.

Don't miss the final exhibition for our Summer Arts Intensive!

OPENING FRIDAY, AUGUST 26

The Smack Mellon Files
Work by Participants in Smack Mellon's Summer Arts Intensive Program

Exhibition dates: August 27 - 28, 2011
Reception: Friday, August 26, 6 pm

At 30 Washington Street

(next door to Smack Mellon--please use entrance at top of ramp)

Student Artists: Chynna Aming, Octeavia Andall, Saya Baker, Arianne Bienvenu, Kayla Edwards, Aurora Parkinson, William Roberts, Shaun Semper, Orion Watler, Bryce Williams, Mahnoor Zaheer, Cassandra Zorrilla

The Smack Mellon Files is an exhibition of work created by students during Smack Mellon's Summer Arts Intensive arts education program. Through this program, every August, Smack Mellon's 6,000 square foot gallery is transformed into a giant art studio where young people aged 12-15 can create in diverse media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and animation. This year, students were also fortunate to work and exhibit in a satellite space at 30 Washington St.

The exhibition title, The Smack Mellon Files, is partly inspired by El Museo del Barrio's The (S) Files exhibit of contemporary Latino, Caribbean, and Latin American New York artists, which the students visited on an early field trip. Like The (S) Files, The Smack Mellon Files contains work by a group of emerging young urban artists, and their work is largely inspired by the objects, materials, and stories they encounter in their daily lives and on NYC streets.

Smack Mellon's Summer Arts Intensive runs Monday through Friday from 10 am to 3 pm for the month of August. Guided by artists who are experts in their field, the students delve into a different medium each week. During the first week, installation artist Sonya Blesofsky taught students to make expressive drawings and paintings by observing fruits, vegetables, kitchenware, and other everyday objects, as well as indoor and outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. In Blesofsky's Sculpture and Installation class during the second week, the things students normally throw away, like cardboard and plastic bags, were transformed into oversized sculptures of the things they use and wear. Students' everyday actions become the inspiration for sprawling site-specific installations of string, wire, and felt.

Re-purposed crafts materials and mixed media will also dictate the young artists' work during the last two weeks of August, as they create collaborative photo and video projects with photo/video artists Michael Paul Britto and Jessica Ann Peavy. These include picture books combining photography and drawing, neighborhood scavenger hunts, hand-altered self-portraits, and original puppetry and stop-motion videos. Smack Mellon's state-of-the art Media Room will serve as a laboratory for printing professional quality photographs and editing videos.

The students' work is also informed by weekly field trips to other New York City museums and art spaces. In addition to looking at street-inspired work at El Museo del Barrio, we traveled to Governors Island to see the FIGMENT interactive sculpture garden (featuring many works also made of recycled materials), and the gigantic steel sculptures of Mark diSuvero. Over the next two weeks, we will investigate the history of movies and TV and the work of Jim Henson at the Museum of the Moving Image, and receive a private tour of the Modern Art Foundry in Queens, to learn how metal sculptures are fabricated.
